Chapter 60 I Want to Die
2843words
Suddenly, I heard someone talking: "Moon! Do you hear my voice? Wait!" Running footsteps and the sound of shouting for a doctor were clearly heard.
A doctor came to check my condition. I was even confused about what was happening.
"Do you feel any pain in your body? If you do, just tell me which part!" the doctor's voice was filled with concern and care, reassuring me that I was in good hands.
"What happened to me?," I asked in a low voice.
"Miss has a fairly high fever," answered the doctor.
After finishing the examination, the doctor immediately left after talking to someone.
"Moon, you're awake. I'm so glad to see you back," said Lily, smiling at me. She sat beside me on a chair.
"Ah, Lily, huh! Sorry, did I get you in trouble again? Sorry!" I said, smiling.
"It's okay. Want to sit down? I'll help you!"
"Yes, I think I can do it myself," I said, forcing myself.
As I woke up and sat up, I took in the comforting sight of the hospital room. Despite my dizziness, I felt a sense of security in this familiar environment.
"Want to eat some fruit?" Lily asked me.
"No, I can do it myself. How many days have I been here?"
"Three days! Don't worry, the doctor said you just have a fever," Lily replied, smiling. Lilu took the fruit on the table and peeled it. She spoke again while peeling the fruit in her hand, "What happened to you? You suddenly fell ill. Did someone else hurt you?"
"Nothing. Sorry, I've bothered you for three days," I apologized in a low voice.
"We are friends, right? Why do you seem to be hiding your problems from me? Shouldn't friends listen to your stories!," Lily said while giving me a piece of fruit.
"Yes, I think so. I'm fine. I'm just tired to the point of having a fever."
"Are you sure? You're still hiding your problems, you know! Even though we're friends, you don't trust me very much!"
"I trust you. I'm not hiding anything!"
"Are you sure? Ah, you're lying!"
"I'm not lying. Why do you keep accusing me?"
"Do you know what happened during the three days you were unconscious?" Lily asked, looking at me.
I shook my head, "No, what happened?"
"You kept crying the whole time. You called your parents. What's wrong with your parents? Don't hesitate to tell me. No one will think this is a problem."
"Huh, why are you suddenly acting like an older sister? I really don't have any problems," I said, smiling.
"Okay, you can tell me everything if you change your mind. I'm not someone who likes to share secrets. I'm a secret keeper. By the way, want to keep a secret with me? I have a secret while you're sick, you know! But this is our secret, don't let Alpha Grey know, okay?!," Lily said with a cheerful face.
"Yes, what is it?," I replied.
"Your face looks radiant when you hear about Alpha Grey. Is there something?," Lily said teasingly.
"Ah, what do you mean?" I said with a pouting face, unable to suppress a smile at Lily's playful teasing.
Lily started laughing, "Hahaha… I was just kidding. You know about Alpha Grey! He waited for you all night for three days. I got the morning shift though! My older brother seems to really like you."
I was suddenly surprised by Lily's words, "He didn't do anything strange while I was sick, right?" I asked.
"No. But I just found out that my older brother likes you. Ah, it would be terrible if he found out about this. Promise to keep it a secret between us, okay?" Lily said while raising her little finger.
I then broke my promise to Lily, "Yes, okay."
"Alpha Grey bought a lot of things for you. Hahaha… he's so cute. But he got jealous of you after seeing your phone. Do you have another man?"
"Eh, what do you mean?" I asked in confusion.
"Come on! Tell me who that man is?"
"Which one?"
Lily took her phone from the desk drawer and showed me my phone. My phone had received many messages from someone.
"Here!" Lily said with a smile and showed me the incoming messages.
Spontaneously, my hand took my phone, reading the incoming message. The message was from Seikyu Yuuki. He sent me a farewell greeting. He would be away for a while because of work.
"Oh, he! He sent me a message telling me that he would be going to take care of work. Why is my phone here?"
"Yes, that's because we have to contact your parents. But I didn't get your parents' number. You only have a few in your contacts. That man, Theo, me, and Alpha Grey."
"Eh, since when has Alpha Grey been on my phone?"
"Since he added it himself. He said he didn't want anything bad to happen to you. If there is a problem, you can contact me or Alpha Grey."
"Okay, I'll remember."
Suddenly, Lily's phone rang, and she received a short message from Alpha Grey: "Is she awake?"
Lily quickly replied to the message, "Yes, she is awake. No need to worry. I'm here to care for She."
"Moon, I've discussed something with Alpha Grey. I'll be staying with Professor Aria Star for a while. Alpha Grey will be staying at your house."
"Eh! That's not allowed. Why does She have to stay at my house?" I said, refusing.
"Because She... ah yes! She hasn't found a job yet. She's already working and waiting for her first salary. So can She stay at your house for a while?," Lily said quietly and almost blurted out.
"Oh yes, that's fine," I answered in agreement. "I'll take this as a token of my gratitude for being helped."
"Yes, thank you very much Moon. I don't know where else She should go," Lily said happily.
As time passed, Lily continued to accompany me here. She was busy playing with her cell phone and occasionally looked at me sitting on the bed, which made me suspicious of her.
"Did something happen?," I asked, looking at Lily.
"Oh, no. It's just Theo who wanted to stop by here after I told him about you," Lily replied.
"Eh! Don't let him come here! I don't want anyone here. Don't worry about me. I'm very well now," I said, refusing.
"Huh! Why? Isn't Theo a good man? Even better than Alpha Grey," said Lily curiously about Moon's reason for rejecting Theo's presence.
"Yes, because I don't like many people here. No need to come, I don't know him well either."
"That's right! Okay, I'll tell Theo that you're very busy so it's hard to meet. Another time," said Lily, immediately replying to Theo's previous message.
Meanwhile, Theo's whereabouts received a reply message from Lily. His face immediately became gloomy.
"Ah, what's this? Did I just get rejected? This must have been replied to by someone else, not Lily! " he said, annoyed and unable to accept that Moon currently didn't want to be visited by anyone.
Time passed, and Moon came out of the hospital and arrived at the apartment. After parting with Lily, Moon lived in an apartment with Alpha Grey. The man didn't bring much stuff, just a few pieces of clothing. I wasn't used to having a man in my apartment, so it made me wary of him.
I sat on the couch facing the window, the wind blowing and hitting the curtains.
"Ah, why is that idiot here? I feel like I'm trapped! The person who hates me is now living with me! Wow, this is crazy!," I said to myself while staring at the curtains flying in the wind.
Alpha Grey was in the kitchen, silently watching Moon from a distance.
"What is she thinking? Has she actually had family problems all this time? She's parents haven't been seen since I arrived here," Alpha Grey muttered.
Suddenly, a burning smell was detected, which surprised Alpha Grey and Moon. Alpha Grey immediately turned off the stove because his cooking was burnt. Moon immediately got up from her seat, approaching Alpha Grey with an annoyed face.
"What are you doing? My house is going to burn down!," I said, feeling annoyed.
"Ah, I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose," Alpha Grey replied.
"Hah, whatever! I'm going to Undermoon," I said, ending the conversation, and prepared myself to go to Undermoon.
"Ah, she's mad at me. Yes, it's my fault for being negligent. How did I become like this? But this is all because of Lily! Those bad guys never stop bothering me. I have to protect myself, the company, and Lily. Damn it! What should I do now? I need a lot of evidence to deter them. But I have to reveal the truth about my father! The recording that Lily showed me keeps bothering me!" Alpha Grey grumbled.
Undermoon, Undermoon Academy.
I didn't expect new gossip to start circulating about me. I don't understand why so many people hate my presence.
"That girl is the one who invited the demon king to come!"
"Oh, so she's been taking advantage of Alpha Grey's kindness all this time? She betrayed Alpha Grey!"
"Is that true? What a shameless girl!"
"Didn't Alpha Grey help her on the day of the hunt? Now she's close to the demon king! Doesn't she know that the demon king is cruel?"
"Hahahaha… just let it be! The demon king is only using her! After she was in the demon king's place, she was only made a slave!"
"Hahaha… karma!"
"That girl is a traitor! Shouldn't she not be here?"
"Yes, you're right! That girl is a demon!"
Such words were repeated. I didn't know what the problem was, saying that I was a demon. The demon king who came to meet me was Seikyu Yuuki. I also just found out about this from their conversation. I didn't betray anyone at all. There was no relationship between me, the demon king and Alpha Grey. But they acted as if they knew everything correctly.
I sat on a park bench under a shady tree, enjoying the beauty of the bright day that suddenly became cloudy after Sarah Spencer and her friends arrived.
"Moon, have you seen Lily?" Sarah Spencer asked.
"No. I haven't seen her since morning," I answered.
Sarah Spencer smiled and looked at her friends. Sarah Spencer's friends surrounded me.
"I want to talk to you and answer honestly every word I say. How could you betray Alpha Grey by approaching the demon king? Do you want them to fight over a girl with no status like you? Do you want to start a war?,."
"What do you mean? I don't understand!" I replied immediately, standing up from my seat.
"Come on, everyone knows you are close to the demon king. Alpha Grey risked his life to get a medicinal plant that only grows near the red dragon's nest. But you attacked him and made him sad! You chose the demon king from what, Alpha Grey! Are you a traitor? Just tell the truth! People like you don't deserve to be in a place like this," said Sarah Spencer condescendingly.
"Yes, Alpha Grey did help me get the medicinal plant on that hunting day. I did know the demon king a little on the hunting day. I didn't ask Alpha Grey to help me. But he was the one who intended to help me," I replied casually.
"Do you intend to lie to all of you? I'm not stupid! You betrayed him. Is this your plan so you don't get executed when facing the demon king? Huh, what a wicked plan you have!" said Sarah Spencer, surprising Sarah Spencer's friends and me.
"How wicked! This bitch is risking other people's lives just for her safety! Crazy girl!," said Sarah Spencer's friends insulting me.
"What execution? I don't even know about that!," I replied.
"Wow, you're really good at acting. Come on! Anyone who is near the demon king, especially this person, is in Undermoon, Undermoon Academy. Then this person will be forcibly executed back to the original world. You reject all that by risking other people's lives," said Sarah Spencer, accusing me.
"I didn't risk other people's lives. There was no bet between me and the demon king," I said, denying Sarah Spencer's accusations.
"Since earlier you've been accusing me of the accusations I threw at you! Could it be that all of this is true? Don't be afraid to admit it. How many lives have you risked these past few days? Some of the Undermoon Academy students have just disappeared since the day the hunt ended. Come on, tell me the truth? Coward!," said Sarah Spencer, looking at me with an evil smile.
"I didn't do anything! What do you mean accusing me of doing that? I don't even have the ability to do that. How could that happen?," I said in denial.
Spontaneously, a slap landed on my cheek until it turned red. The sound of the slap was clearly audible.
"Parrkkk!."
Sarah Spencer's friends cheered at me as soon as the slap happened.
"Hahaha! Feel it fox girl!"
"Traitor!"
"Bitch!"
One of Sarah Spencer's friends quickly grabbed my hair. "Feel this, bitch!"
Instantly, I held my neck and the part of my hair that was grabbed, "Let go! Please let go?!," I said.
"Hahaha... bitch! Traitors like you should be executed by force back to the original world!," said Sarah Spencer's friend laughing at me.
Even some of them kicked my legs until I fell to my knees on the ground.
"Traitor girl! Cry and regret your actions! " Sarah Spencer's friend hit my shoulder with all she had until my shoulder shifted.
"Aaaa!!," I said, screaming loudly.
"This is a lesson for you! We will make you suffer if you do something stupid again," said Sarah Spencer.
They started to leave me alone with the pain that was left to me.
"My shoulder!" I said, stroking my dislocated shoulder. I tried to stand up but fell. I tried again and lost again. I tried to stand up and fell again over and over. My legs hurt, and so did my shoulders. They were so mean to me by accusing me of mistakes that I never did.
From a distance, Alpha Grey saw Moon sitting on the ground. Alpha Grey immediately approached and sat beside Moon.
Who invited this man to sit near me now? It was very scary to sit next to him. But now I really can't do anything; I can't even stand.
"What are you doing here? Just keep walking!," I said.
"Hmm! I want to stop here. The wind is very cool, huh?," he replied, which coincidentally the wind was blowing.
"Huh, it's up to you! Get away from me! I don't want other people to think strangely about me and only take advantage of your abilities," I said with annoyance.
Alpha Grey began to move away from me, keeping his distance. He was silent for a moment, enjoying the gust of wind that dropped the flowers of this tree on both of us.
"It's a bit rude to talk to you about this. But you needed help right now? I didn't expect them to do this to you," Alpha Grey said, immediately surprising me.
"Hah, my gosh! Do I look like I'm having a hard time in your eyes?," I said, taking a deep breath.
"Yes, I think so. They shouldn't treat you like this. They're just people who like to bully others who don't have any abilities! That's so embarrassing," Alpha Grey said.
"My gosh! Okay. I think so, can you treat me here? I can't move," I replied, asking for help.
"Of course!," Alpha Grey replied, getting up from his seat and treating my wound with his healing magic.
A warm flow of mana spread through me, healing the wounds.
"Alpha Grey, why can someone like you have so many abilities? Doesn't it seem like others have them but not like you?" I asked.
"Yes, I think it's not just about the gift of awareness but also because of daily training," Alpha Grey replied while treating me with healing magic.
Not long after, I had recovered from my wounds. Alpha Grey and I sat side by side.
"Don't tell Lily what you saw, okay?" I asked.
"Why? Shouldn't she know because she's your friend?" Alpha Grey replied.
"If you tell her about this, I'll hit you! I don't want Lily's friendship with Sarah Spencer to be ruined just because of this," I said, staring at Alpha Grey sharply.
"Oh, okay. I'll keep this a secret, don't worry! I promise?!," Alpha Grey replied, smiling.
